This was repeated by both several times,
and squabble cnsued, at the end of which
Sullivan said
"If you want to fight me in week, snail
fight in a sixteen foot ring, or if YOU will wait
until my engagements are ovcr I'll fight you
off-hand anywhere you like
rMitchcll-Why have you allowed me to run
all over America twice after you if you think
YOU can fight mcs
Sullivan-Hc wanted to take an advantage
of me and interfere with me in my business
as well as advertise himself.
Mitchcll-Interferc with you' What can
be made out of YOU, Sullvani You don't
want to fight. want to arrange nothing
else but fight, and hope that is the object
of all connected with you.
Sullivan-Goss and Mace fought in six
tecn-foot ring. / want Il sixtccn-foot ring
and nothing else
Mitchell-Then I'll not agree to anything
of the kind.
Sulivan-This amounts to nothing. They
don't want to fight.
Mtchell-Dont we! / have you. That is
my errand here this evening.
Sullivan-We have conceded everything.
You want to break up my business.
Mitchell-You will have good job. You
have made no poor houses for poor people.
You never boxed for any charitable institu-
| tons, have you, Sulivan.
| Sullivan. It's lie; ] am gentleman.
Mitchell-Eou are no catch.
Sullvan-I want sixteen-foot ring. If
| you do not agree to that, then I'll fight you
in twenty-four-foot ring for as much as
| you can find when | have finished my engage
| ments.
Mitchcll-Iou said yon were coming over
| for two reasons-revenge and money.
| Sullivan-I never challenged YOU in my
life. l am ready to back my statement.
| Mitchcll-Hc knows his game. Say, Sui
| livan, you roasted poor Jake Kilrain on the
stage at st. James hall. You publicly said,
Ihope Smith will beat him. and wished the
Englishman good luck, and yet you are a
| fellow-countryman.
| Sullivan never said anything of the
| kind. / wished Kilran success.
| Mitchcll-That's u lie. l have Kirain to
look after l hope he will knock the stuffine
out of Smith. have to see after Jake's in
terest, and if | die at the ring side mean
him to get fair play. l want to fight for sat
| isfaction. You can do me no harm.
Sullivan-I was brought up in a better
| school, and am Il gentleman.
Mitchell sarcastically)-I know Dickens
You are looking glass fighter and never
tackled good man in your life.
Sullvan-Don't you insult me or you'll get
the worst of it. never forget my manners
Mitchel-You never had any.
Sullivan-What do you say! You come
out in a hack and will fight you now.
Mitchell rising)-l'm your man. Come on
Editor Atkinson begged both to desist ant
settle down quietly to business. Finally
they quieted down and Sullivan, saying ht
would leave Mr.. Phillips to act on his behalf
left the room. The latter and Mitchell thel
agreed for a fight with knuckles, to take
place in twenty y-four-foot ring, twelve per
sons, including seconds, n side. within ,00(
miles of London This latter clause was in
serted to avoid either party getting out b,
naming such places as America, Australia
or, as Mr. Moore remarked, China. Th,
articles were drawn up and signed, whci
Moore, on behalf of Mitchell, handed Mr.
Bull bank notes for 91O0, Mr.. Phil
lips posting f200 all in gold. This
forms the deposit and the remaining
f400 side must be posted with Mr. Bul
nine days before the fight A well-knowl
sporting man was mentioned by Mitchell fo
referee, and an equally well-known mem
ber of the stock exchange on be
half of Sullivan, it being agree,
that when the final deposit was mad
both names should be put in hat, a coli
tossed in the air, the winner to put his han,
| in and draw name, who should act as um
pire.
Everything at last being settled amicably
Phillips said II hope the best I'm will
win, and with all respect to you Mitchell,
believe Sullivan can beat you because he ha
more weight and greater reach of arm thai
you have. But if you win, l should like L
take you to America, where / am sure for
tune would await us by showing"
Mitchell-Thanlk you. l hope may dro
dead before you see Sullivan beat me. If h
does, they will have to carry me out of tn
ring in pieces.
Everything being settled, the mcetn
broke up at 9:45 p. m, when your CORES
